i really love this movie . the only problem i had with it is billy crystal's make-up as the old buddy. it is horrible. it looks phony and caked on . his face looks like he had 3rd degree burns at one time and was left scared. but that's it. everything else about the movie is great. david paymer had pretty good make up as the older stan. i wish billy crystal had it also.
